Jon Stewart Rips Apart Texas Cop Who Crossed The Line At Pool Party (Video)

by Sean Levinson

Jon Stewart offered his own observations about the Texas cop who pointed his gun at unarmed teens while responding to a call about a pool party disturbance.

Officer Eric Casebolt was placed on leave after he was filmed throwing a girl to the ground and immediately drawing his weapon when her friends rushed in to help her.

In a recent episode of "The Daily Show," Stewart noted Casebolt's sudden aggression and his "redundant" language when screaming at the young girl.

Stewart also called on Senior Texas Aquatics Correspondent Jessica Williams for an alternative view on the incident.

Williams called the outcome "progress," suggesting tensions between police and black neighborhoods have grown so high, no one getting shot could be considered a pleasant surprise.
